MLS has named the first 58 players -- from 44 Division I schools -- who will
attend a combine in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. Jan. 5-8 to be viewed by MLS coaches in
preparation for the 2007 MLS SuperDraft Jan. 12 in Indianapolis.

Last year, 23 of the 48 players selected in the 2006 MLS SuperDraft
participated in the 2006 combine.

The 58 players were chosen by a select panel of Division I college coaches who
nominated and voted for players in conjunction with MLS coaches.

Youth players from the Generation adidas program will join additional collegiate
players from NCAA Division II and III schools, NAIA schools and Division I
alternates to finalize the 2007 adidas Player Combine.

The players will be divided into four teams and coached by college coaches
John Trask (Illinois at Chicago), John Rennie (Duke), Mike Noonan
(Brown) and Greg Andrulis (George Mason).
